[Official Interview] Lemino Exclusive Stream ”Family Planning” Lead Actress Bae Doo Na Talks About Her Character's Charm and Behind-the-Scenes Story

Bae Doo na, the lead actress of the Korean TV series "Family Planning," which is being streamed exclusively on DoCoMo's video streaming service "Lemino," talks about the appeal of her character and behind-the-scenes stories from the filming.
Q. What kind of TV series is "Family Planning"? Please give us a brief introduction to your character, Yongsoo. A.
"Family Planning" is a work that tells the story of an unrelated family becoming a real family.
The five of us - Ryu Seung-beom, Baek Yun-sik, Lomon, Lee Soohyeon, and myself (Bae Doona) - play the roles of a family.
Five people who met in a special training unit that makes human weapons hope to escape and become a "normal family."
The story is about a man who gets caught up in a mysterious incident, and in the incident, he uses his special powers to "gift" hell to the bad guys. The character I played, Yeongsoo, is the mother of the family.
She is the kindest and best mother to her twin siblings Ji-hoon and Ji-woo, but she also has a special ability called "brain hacking."
Q. What are the points of interest in "Family Planning"? A. There are many points of interest in "Family Planning". First of all, I think the "black comedy" element is very appealing. And the 5 family members
What viewers should pay attention to is the spectacular action scenes where people's extraordinary abilities and Yeong-soo's "brain hacking" are used to defeat the bad guys.
Above all, the incidents that appear in the TV Series are not just fantasy, but also contain social messages that are reminiscent of various actual incidents that have occurred in Korea.
I think the point is also the refreshing ending of the story, where bad things happen when you do bad things. Q. What is the appeal of Yongsu?
A. Yeongsoo is a clumsy woman. Even though she has been a mother for over 15 years, she is a terrible cook (laughs).
She is not good at sharing or empathizing with others, and is an emotionless person, but she is a warm mother to her children.
She practices smiling every day. She may look strong on the outside, but she is soft on the inside and has the charm of being "soft on the inside, tough on the outside." Q. What are the similarities and differences between Bae Doo Na and Yong Soo?
A. I don't like tamagoyaki (rolled eggs). (laughs) I think the character's "soft on the inside, tough on the outside" personality is similar to mine.
Like Soo, she cares for and loves her children more than anything, which I think is similar to me. Q. What did you pay particular attention to or put effort into while playing the role of Yeongsoo?
A. Yeongsoo is a character who is bad at expressing his emotions and keeps them under control. I tried hard to portray Yeongsoo as an emotionally empty character.
Q. If you were in this family, who would you like to be and what would you do? A. I think Jihoon's character would be good.
I want to be Ji Hoon's character, who is smart and has genius hacking skills.
I think Jihoon is the one who doesn't directly hurt people and has no character flaws in his family (laughs). Q. Please tell us about any memorable episodes that occurred during filming.
A. It would be difficult to choose just one. Every time I filmed a scene, I was prepared to do my best.
I remember the shoot for "Focaccia" in the past. Q. What are you into these days (food, music, movies... anything) and what are your hobbies? A. The food I'm into these days is "Focaccia" and the food I'm into these days is "Focaccia".
The music I listen to is "Come Play" by Stray Kids. (laughs) It's the music I listen to whenever I drive. When I exercise, I often watch movies, TV series, etc.
I often watch long episodes. Recently I watched "Trauma Code" and "League of Legends," a variety show featuring archery athletes, which I also found interesting.
Q. Do you have a favorite Japanese food? What would you like to eat when you come to Japan? A. Udon, onigiri, tonkatsu, sushi, okonomiyaki, ramen, etc. My favorite Japanese foods are listed here.
There are too many to list. I also love Japanese desserts. I also like "Tokushima sweet potato chips." Q. Finally, please say a few words to the Japanese viewers.
A. Please watch our TV series "Family Planning." And please show your love and interest to the actor Bae Doo Na. We will continue to work on various characters in the future.
I will arrange to meet you in Kuta. Thank you very much.
